About

Thought of a 2048/Threes kind of game but about solar fusion. I didn't want to make an exact clone of these and had an idea of a twist for have a center cell that blocks tiles. And also tiles can combine with multiple other tiles and combinations can make multiple results etc. I think this idea can be cleaned up and made into a really fun puzzle game.

I spent a good amount of time this weekend on Wikipedia learning about these different reactions that happen in stars. This game covers the Proton-proton chain and CNO cycle. I left a bit out as I wasn't sure how they could be incorporated into the game. Check out the help menu in game to see a list of all possible fusions!

Thank you for playing!

good idea, but the execution isnt the best, i find the best strategy is just spam two different direction, and the re could be a move animation.

I agree there is something to this idea! I had trouble tracking the combinations but kind of figured out movement patterns and strategies that worked along the way. Good job!

I like the idea. Maybe an animation when moving the elements would've been nice.
